TIE higots' blood hound, Anthony
Comstock, has woman victim this
time, and the woman is no other than
Elmina Drake Slenker, of SnOwville,
Va, familiarly known to thousands as
Aunt Elmina," and ''Mother Elmi.
ma" Mrs. Drake has for years been
the most prominent female writer in
the country on freethought subjects,
and Comstock has been lying in wait
to catch her for years.
On the 2Sth of April three men ap-
peared 1T her house in Snowville and
informed her that in fifteen minutes
she must he ready to 90 with them
to Lynchbure to he jailed on charge
Of mailing unmailable matter. She
was thus hurriedly snatched from her
home, taken in wagon to Lynchburg
away from all friends and neighbors,
and lodged in a Jail without fire. From
there, the next day, she was taken to
Wytheville, arriving at midnight. She
was given bed on the floor with a
pauper. The bed was a blanket spread
on the floor with another to cover
them. In the same jail was q crazy
man. crying, singing, praying, etc.,
while the other prisoners called him
vile names to make him rave. Into
this ''mouth of he'll" into these flaws
of DEATH" Elmina Drake Slenker, a
lady go years of age, was thrust for no
crime whatever.
The charge is that certain leaflets
sent by her through the mail are OBJ
scene. They were upon sexual SUBJ
jects. and Mrs. s. was gathering facts,
the same as any medical writer or SCI
entific person would do, for work on
the subject.
Comstock has been watching for
years to catch her, just as he watched
for D. NJ. Bennett, and he has finally
got her behind the bars. How the un-
feeling brute end bloodhound of the
New York Society of Bigots must gloat
over this last triumph over woman!
Elmina Drake Slenker is one of the
purest women and purest writer's in
America. II Lucretia Mott had been
imprisoned for preaching the freedom
of the slave. or If Julia Ward Howe
should be imprisoned for preaching
the emancipation Of woman. the cases
would be parallelled exactly by Mrs.
Slinker's case.
Hulls New Thought we'll says in
commenting upon the outrage:
ut can but be that anarchism must
grow on trees Of such planting"
It is only question of time when
Ingersoll. Remsberg, Jameson and ev.
cry other freethought speaker and wri-
ter will fall at the hands of the Com.
stock gang. Not only this, but every
medium and speaker in the cause of
Spiritualism will be silenced or 90 to
prison.
May every free m An this day make q
solemn vow to fight the infamous
Comstock law and the Infamous Com.
stock gang till both are overthrown.

ANOTHER CURE vs. THE DOCTORS
PLO1,

'
PLOT:
Mrs. Clongh, of Minneapolis, wife of
Senator Clough, was recently healed in
Boston by ''Christian Science" Sena-
tor Clongh says:
My wiie:s case was particularly
hard one to deal with-as difficult. in
fact, as could well imagine one could
be: 1t was i terrible Case. Every
thing seemed to be the matter with
her. She went tn Boston last Deceln-
Der and took treatment Ut Mrs. J. A..

and are going to spend the summer
here. They are just the incest people
in the world. tell you there is no
humbug about this. know too we'll
some 0f the things that have been &C
complished. Remember it is Christian
science, which II not the same as mind
cure.
Senator Clough, we suppose, is
aware of the fact that a bill was pass.
ed by the last legislature of Minnesota.
under which this cure could not haye
been effected in this state without sub.
jecting the "Christian Scientist" to
fine and imprisonment. Is Senator
Clough aware of the fact that such
laws exist in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois
and other states? And will he not
hereafter use his influence to defeat
the drug doctors plot" to drive ev-
cry one to employing drug doctors
Do the people of the country realize to
what an extent they are being bound
hand and foot by such legislation, at
tempting to ''regulate" nearly every
one of their acts, and to dictate to
them in religious, medical, political
and social matters. DO they realize
that the drug doctors are united and
will secure such laws in every state
unless the people prevent it? Do they
realize that the Irregular" clergy are
uDiting to secure laws in every state
compelling the people to use the regu-
lar drug religion for their souls, or
none?
The above case of cure is but one of
thousands of cures by spiritual agency.
Mind cures, Christian science cnres,
spirit cures, prayer cures, faith cures,
are all one at bottom. "There is one
SPIRIT" with diversity of methods and
gifts. It is these God currs' which
the drug doctors in every state propose
to suppress by law.

The ADVANCE acknowledges receipt
Of some useless and inconsistent advice
from some Of it's contemporaries. Dur
ing the past few weeks we have been
advised:
I. That we must not allnde to the
fact that we ever favored such and
such 4 movement or measure, especial
ly if it succeeds. It's not modest, you
know, for newspaper to claim that it
ever had hand in anything. It's u
newspapers business, yon know, to
cringe and fawn, and admit that every
little tradesman and every one horse
politician is something far above and
in advance of country editor. Bah!
It is just this contemplate spirit which
makes country editors contemplate.
2. We must not allude to any rail-
roadsspointing towards Worthington,
until they are built. A newspapers
place is to give news, not views nor
opinions. 1t is presumptuous in a
mere country editor to be talking about
railroads and such mighty things as
though he knew anything about it.
8. We must not be talking about
railroad divisions, factories, water
works, ETC., for Worthington until we
are sure of them. Country editors are
nobody anyhow and ought not to pre-
sumo to. talk about such things until
some pompous local celebrity, or some
railroad underling, or some newsboy
or bootblack, gives him positive assur.
ance that he may now say 80 on the
authority of the ''popular and respect
able" 80 and so.
"Still, nevertheless. notwithstaEd-
ing" all this good advice. the AD.
VANCE proposes to continue to lead
the way. The boys will come along
camping on our old ground from year
to year.

 That this valley is vastly superior to southern California for raisim making is beyond question. There the raisin makers have to ship their grapes out to the Msjave desert to c Ire them on ac- count of the excessive humidity in the raisin growing districts. Here, owing ta the dryness of our atmosphere, the raj sins can be cured in the vineyards, an thus the expense of shipping thera from and back to the vineyard is saved.
